How
To Tell Your Left From Your Rightby Larry Leonard
(Most recent edit on December 9, 2011)November
23, 2011 -- The first thing you must remember is that
human beings decide what things are called. If
they have unstated goals to achieve when they do it,
you can end up with a cactus being called a
daisy. A recent example of that would be the
liberal journalist who back a while assigned
identities to the colors in the now-standard red-blue
election maps.

Red is the
traditional color of the Left, not the Right.
The Roman god of war was Mars, which is also known as
the red planet. Blue, the color that reporter
assigned to the Left, is associated with peace and
tranquility -- truthfulness and sincerity.

In 2010, the map of America's middle reaches turned
red, while north and south strips of the coastlines
remained "true" blue.

So, by reversing the natural, historical colors , that
reporter hung the hammer and sickle's socialist
revolutionary violence on the folks who leave clean
streets, no broken store windows and no burning cars
behind them when they express their opinions in public
places. The political color they
(conservatives/Tea Party types) were assigned by the
Left is a lie.

This feeds right into our essay, here. If you
shot the sheriff, and would like to blame it on an
enemy who constantly tells the truth about you -- then
you need to come up with some really good lies for the
jury.

America has been shaped by the lies of the Left for
more than a century. Because of their skill at
lying, at least half of our citizens don't understand
that they live with smiling monsters, and their
dupes. (Some of them don't even know they are
monsters. When they look in the mirror, they see
an angel.)

Okay, off to work we go. The job this time, in
this essay, has to do with the meaning behind a nasty
name.

People are calling other people fascists. When
you look at the meaning of the word, then look at the
actions of the people being tarred and feathered, the
two just don't go together. I have been a writer
for fifty years. What the Lefties are doing may
be compared to calling an eagle a slug. This
attempt to degrade the reputations of certain groups
by certain other groups requires the jury (you and I)
to ask just what the hell is going on, here?

To get the
right answers, you have to ask the right questions

Pythagorean mathematics, the formula for the elements
of a right triangle, popcorn and pigeons are
true. They are "facts." Facts are often
important to trials. Which is worse, a desire
for financial success or a determination to achieve
power? That is a matter of opinion. People who like
money can have selfish motives, but more often than
not just want to take care of their family, and are
glad that in the process they can provide good jobs
for people they don't even know. But, people who
have a lust for power? There's fertile ground for
selfish motives.

Some ideas contain colder steel than a sword.
Some people may claim they don't, but actually do,
believe frogs can turn into princes.

Take this word
"fascist," for example ...

What does this flag stand
for? In other words, if you took down Old Glory
and raised this flag over the nation's public
buildings, how would things change? Well, as it
did when Hitler took power in Germany, the government
would control the economy, the media and the schools,
then would begin to freely take any property from
anybody, without compensation. You could be
arrested for protesting these things out loud.
Put in jail for (as in many Islamic nations, today)
practicing an unapproved religion, for failing to work
at the job the government assigned to you, for trying
to defend people who are not approved of by the
government, and for refusing to stuff such people into
cattle cars so that they can be railroaded to
concentration camps for re-education, slave-labor or
elimination.

(Adolf Hitler, whose early days in Vienna were a
bohemian quest for recognition as an artist, designed
that flag, just above. Red was the traditional
color that identified the prime "social" quality --
blood. (Loyalty to your own blood.) The white usually
represents purity, but in Hitler's case indicated
which blood was being celebrated in his banner.
In Hitler's case, it was Caucasian blood. (Aryan
racial purity) The swastika had to do with the
singular dedication to their purpose of monks who ran
a school he attended as a child. An ancient
version of that swastika was carved in stone above the
front door of that building.)

Now, here's a question for you and my sister.
When big liberal American media, educators and
politicians describe the Tea Party people as
"right-wingers" and "fascists," do you think they (the
Tea Party types) want to do the things described in
the paragraph next to that Nazi flag, above? Do
the Tea Party types you've seen on television strike
you as folks who want a super-powerful,
centralized-government run by a military dictator who
can put millions of Americans in concentration camps?

Or, is it your impression that what they want is less
government in their lives?

Ipso Fatso

Here is a flag
you often see during Tea Party marches. In
colonial America, it was waved by people who didn't
like being bossed around by a royal bigshot.
Some of them, while objecting to the policies of the
bigshot, threw a bunch of tea into a bay. It
helped start the American Revolution.

Below, a poster about another kind of revolution.

Now that you've had some time
to consider these ideas, here's my take: in present-day
American culture and politics, "Left" doesn't mean
what they say it means. It actually means the
following:
centralized government power which uses a bureaucratic
system to manage every corner of life they can.
Since that is exactly what Adolf Hitler did, exactly
what Marx, Lenin and Stalin did, exactly what Mao did
in China, what Castro did in Cuba and what the "dear
leaders" have done in North Korea and various other
nations on various other continents around the world
-- why do the liberal media, education community and
politicians connect Hitler to the conservative
movement in this nation?

Public
Relations

"Fascism" was called "national socialism" by Hitler,
himself, and in the beginning of the Second World War,
Germany and the Russian communist state -- typically
described in liberal books and documentaries as an
enemy of fascism -- were (how odd) allies. (It
had to do with power. The Left is always about
power.) Stalin changed sides when Hitler's troops
began to cross every national border in Europe,
including Russia's. There's more history here,
related to Poland, which bordered both Germany and
Russia, but I'll leave that out, here.

Knowing that you weren't taught these things in your
American public school system, the American liberal
who isn't just a dupe, and actually does know he is
lying, will tell you that Progressive policies are
good and free and helpful and it would be good and
safer for the children if you joined the kind,
thoughtful friends of theirs when you vote.
(University professors, big labor, Hollywood and most
of the people in journalism, these days.) But, over
there on the right. you are told, is where you'll find
those selfish, evil, rich people who won't admit where
they hide their Nazi flags, but they have them.

Why do liberals say those things?

Everybody has seen the WWII death camp news photos and
film. To have any chance of taking over your
life and your property, these liberals have to do the
public relations thing and blame those camps on
somebody else.

Fact: the only concentration camps ever
created in North America were funded by
taxpayers, and built by Democrats. (For
Germans during WWI, by Woodrow Wilson, and for
Japanese during WWII by Franklin
Delano Roosevelt.) We're not talking about
camps for prisoners of war, soldiers, here.
We're talking about concentration camps, for specific
national population segments and/or political
enemies. No Republican has ever done that.
Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Woodrow Wilson and FDR have done
that. The Commie Camps were worse than the American
President's camps, but at bottom, the principle is the
same -- civilians put in government concentration
camps.

Hootsies did it to Tootsies (or the other way around,
and probably spelled differently) in Africa.
North Koreans do it to political enemies, today.
Stalin created the Gulag (a chain of concentration
camps for the politically incorrect Russian
citizenry).

Fact: there is obviously something odd
going on in Oregon and America these days.
Somebody is trying to hang the name, fascism, on
people who stand for exactly the opposite in the way
of government. So the people who are in charge
of telling you what things mean (public broadcasting,
the MSM, the teachers in your public schools and the
professors in your colleges and universities) either
don't know that a clam is a clam, or they want you to
believe that some clams are clams, but other clams are
zebras.

Motive? Why
would a woman who used to be a prostitute hide the
fact from the rich man who thinks she just left a
convent, and wants to marry her? I think, in
this case, it has to do with the first punch in a
fist-fight. They have been sneaking up on you
for decades, trying to get in a knockout punch without
you even knowing there was anger in the air.
But, lately the Tea Party types have arisen. In
the last national election, they set socialism back.
There's a motive for blacklisting, for you.
People who tell the truth can cause trouble for liars.

Here is the truth about the Left: liberal/ progressive/
socialist/ communist/ fascist.

If this is not so, and you admit that Hitler
hated Jews, and that his Nazi Party murdered
millions of Jews during WWII, explain why the
communists in both Russia and China, today, are
helping Iran develop all their weapons systems,
including nuclear capacity. Iran is on record,
in public statements demanding the destruction of
Jews in Israel and everywhere else in the Middle
East.

I repeat, all the collective "isms" from liberalism to
fascism are ideologies of the Left. Different degrees
of the same thing. If you are an American
liberal, wake up today and face the above facts.
The first one in the list above is a leech. The
last one in the list is a twenty-foot crocodile.
From liberal to fascist, they are beasts that swim in
the same waters. The only difference between the
forms is how much power they have, at the
moment. This is why they had to break off the
last stage, and assign it to those who are actually
fighting against being ruled by dictators and
freedom-throttling bureaucracies.

To pull off this false re-designation the
"progressives" had to own the schools, the history
book authors and publishers, the media and all the
major literary, journalism and entertainment awards
groups. It took them decades, but eventually
they got the tools they needed to do the job.

"Right Wing," when attached to "conservative," you
have been taught for decades, means "racist,"
"imperialist" and most of all, "fascist."

Nothing could be further from the truth.

When you see a television documentary about the Nazi
concentration/death camps, and look at the skeletons
in the cremation furnaces, remember this essay about
that lie. The Holocaust did happen, but it
wasn't Ronald Reagan types who did it. Fascism
is of the Left. It represents the most power a
liberal could attain over other people's lives. It has
murdered more than fifty million children in America
in the last fifty years -- one of whom was mine.
Part of my hatred for liberals is personal.

Of late, observing the attitude of the American Left
toward Israel, I have thought that they must be
feeling very confident to act that way, again. (Do you
know what Stalin, Lenin and other Lefties have done to
Jews, blacks and homosexuals in their nations,
historically?) The last national election here
(2010) should have caused caution in the minds of the
traditional Jew-haters, Jim Crow Democrats and
anti-Christian liberals. Did you see the anti-Jewish
signs in the "occupy" demonstrator mobs?. Maybe
the next election. will awaken them to the danger they
face. Tea Parties are chock full of
Christians, and half their bible was written by Jews.
Christians started and ran the Civil War underground
railroad that unchained so many African slaves.
Republicans fought for black rights after the Civil
War Democrats created Jim Crow.
